The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said they believe the high-profile attention led an anonymous man to bring Schroeder back to his parents in the 900 block of West San Marcos Blvd. around 3 p.m. Thursday.

A veterinarian gave Schroeder a clean bill of health after he came home.

The investigation continues to find out who took Schroeder in the first place. The purebred English bulldog cost $4,000.
